GRAND RAPIDS, MI — After Grand Rapids missed the 90-degree mark on Tuesday, the city could be on its way to a summer without much heat.

Grand Rapids briefly touched 89 degrees yesterday afternoon before a cold front quashed yet another day of summertime heat. Highs into the beginning of next week are forecast to stay below 80 degrees, often with temperatures settling comfortably lower.

Early July is considered the peak of summertime, climatology speaking. For better or worse, average temperatures begin to trend downward this time of year, making it less and less likely 90 degrees will be within reach.
